I finally found a treasure hotel in Kunming where I can take my child to soak in hot springs, swim, row, barbecue, and walk in the forest, and the price is not expensive! The food is also super good~ Location: Kunming Yulong Bay Lake View Hotel Located in the Kang Valley of Taiping's Yulong Bay, the entire hotel is surrounded by a dense forest, the air is fresh and clean, and the environment is as good as in Narati, Xinjiang, haha. Play: √There is an indoor children's playground, children's swimming pool, a large lawn that is super suitable for children to tumble, and a pet park where children can feed alpacas and sika deer, and older children can experience horse riding! There is a dense forest behind the hotel, and it is very cool to walk and ride a bike. Recently, the maple leaves in the forest have turned red, and the photos are incredibly beautiful. √Adults can soak in hot springs, row boats, fish, sing K, do SPA, fitness, BBQ under the canopy. The balcony of the room also has a soaking pool, lying in the bathtub looking at the stars above the forest, it's really romantic~ √The Yulong Bay in autumn is really beautiful. You must go to the Adventure Forest next to the hotel. I took a set of photos with a full autumn atmosphere in the forest, and everyone can go and check in. Eat: √The room includes a buffet breakfast, which is rich in variety, both Chinese and Western styles, and tastes very delicious! The almond for mixing yogurt is unlimited, the details are full~ √The restaurant can order meals all day, we stayed for 2 days, and the Chinese meals were all eaten inside, with mushroom fried rice, Tianma chicken soup, crossing the bridge rice noodles and other Yunnan specialties, as well as children's meals, the price is appropriate and the taste is also very authentic! √There is afternoon tea, children's favorite desserts, which are made quite beautifully, I didn't have time to take pictures and my son finished it. In the evening, I suggest ordering a canopy barbecue. BBQ by the lake and under the starry sky is too atmospheric, and the quality of their oysters and scallops is really great. Stay: There are many types of rooms in the hotel, and everyone can choose as needed. For families with children, I recommend the parent-child room we stayed in, which can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children, with children's favorite rocking horses, tents, and building blocks. Children's bathrobes, slippers, and toiletries will all be prepared, super intimate !In the past few years, I have also taken my children to dozens of hotels. At the Yulong Bay Lake View Hotel in Anning, my son was reluctant to leave and even cried, haha. Here really contains all the experiences that children like. They go to the children's swimming pool 3 times a day and are not tired! Interacting with geese on the large lawn, picking up fallen leaves in the forest, playing frisbee on the large lawn, eating and playing, sleeping soundly, I really can't find adjectives to describe their happiness. In short, it's worth taking a walk with the child!

Kunming has been so hot lately that it has even failed to live up to its reputation as the City of Spring. I discovered this house by accident and it feels like a great place to cool off and escape the heat. There is a wildly growing tree in this house, full of healing power, and also brings coolness in the hot summer. 🏡＞ Dad’s house You can have afternoon tea, hot pot, and a homestay here. Afternoon tea costs 168 yuan per set, which is not very cost-effective, but in fact, you are paying for the space, so it is not expensive if you think about it this way. But it’s the first time I’ve seen afternoon tea with pickled radish and cucumber, which is quite novel. In addition to the viewing platform with a big tree, there are many viewing spots and canopies as you go down. There are tents on the bottom floor. This row of tents can overlook the rice fields and is very comfortable. 💡＞ TIPS: If you want to sit in a viewing spot next to a tree, make sure to book in advance. 📍＞ Address: Shijiang Village, Anning City. Just navigate to "Dad's House" and you will get there. There are plenty of parking spaces in the village. #Good place for parents and children #Mainland customs clearance #foodie #cafe #travel #food #afternoon tea recommendation

#travelinginchina Ningdianzhong Village is a wonderful place. It is not crowded with people, but rather abundant in flowers. Here, you can see beautiful cherry blossoms swaying gently in the breeze, their delicate petals creating a dreamy scene. At the same time, the colorful rapeseed flowers are also in full bloom, presenting a vivid and colorful picture with their bright hues. However, it should be noted that the peak blooming period of these flowers is almost over. So, if you want to enjoy the beauty of these flowers and experience the tranquility and charm of this place, it is advisable to hurry up and pay a visit to Ningdianzhong Village before it's too late. This place is very calm and full of aroma to attract visitors. It’s highly recommended for friends who like flowers and natural sensations. #trip #localguides #familytrip #historicallandmarks

#travelinginchina Long time no outdoor activities, so I headed to Anning Longshan for some “oxygen therapy”. I navigated to the parking lot of the largest hotel in Anning Hot Springs. After parking, I followed the right - hand path in front of the building, found a main road with a postal bank on the right, then saw the sign for the hot spring village and reached a colorful trail. The whole route is about 4km, and it took 2 hours with picture - taking. There are three paths: the Rainbow Trail (I missed it), the Stone Trail (similar in length), and the longest one with stairs and wooden fences (watch out for mosquitoes). I wanted to bring my dog but gave up because of the stairs. Kids can manage the hike. We reached the BCC Aerobic Plan Cafe, didn't go to the mountaintop as it'd take another 1.5 hours. We took pictures and rested. Due to bad weather, we missed the sunset. As it got dark, we took a villager's car down, which took over ten minutes. Overall, it's a great place for a weekend stroll with friends and kids, away from crowded scenic spots. If you just want to go to the coffee shop, navigate to BCC Longshan Aerobic Drive. Highly recommended for visitors looking for peace and enjoy nature. #trip #localguides #historicallandmarks #familytrip

#travelinginchina Yanta Village, Street Town, Anning County, has preserved a large number of residential buildings. Old houses, small courtyards, alleys named after flowers, leisurely people on the village square, clean roads, quiet and beautiful small villages. Most of the old houses in the village are locked and cannot be visited. Instead, we take a stroll in the Firecracker Flower Lane, experiencing the tranquility of time. I don't know whose little cat is not afraid of people, but they walk and stop with us, one by one, enjoying themselves. The rapeseed flowers in the fields behind the village are blooming with a spring limited golden color. The village's food court and convenience store sell unique cold rolled noodles. #familytrip#historicallandmarks #localguides #trip

#travelinginchina Kunming is amazing! A random small hill offers great views. After a week at home, I went to Longshan in Anning's Wenquan Town. It's remote, a near - hour drive from where I live. We drove to the top. Saw hikers and cyclists on the steep, winding road. The observation deck was off - limits, so we went to Riyouyou Farm. Parking was free, but entry was 15 yuan per person, with a ticket for a small bread at the "Little White House". At about 2,500 - meter altitude, it was windy and a bit cold. The warm Little White House had great views through its floor - to - ceiling windows. Online, the farm looks great in spring, summer, and autumn with flowers. But in winter, it's a bit bare. There are still grand views of the sky and mountains. The farm has lots of animals. I was chased by geese but learned they're timid. It also has many vegetables, some I can't recognize. There's a camping area. Meals are available, like curry beef rice for 36 yuan. The sunset is said to be beautiful, but we left after over two hours, fearing the dark drive down. On the way down, we visited Longshan Village with old and new houses and farmhouses. Passed the Cliff Inscription Group and Tanglang River, which has an elegant feel. Anning, a small city, offers relaxation with its tranquility and nice views. I'm not tired of them at all. #trip #localguides #familytrip #historicallandmarks

#travelinginchina Anning to see rapeseed flowers 🌼 🌟 Navigation: Anning Mountain Pass Village 🌟 Driving: 1 hour from Kunming 🌟 Take the power bank with you and pay attention to sun protection This spring has arrived a bit early, and on weekends, you can take advantage of the sunny weather to visit the rapeseed flowers in Shankou Village in Anning. I'm afraid the flowers will all wither next week. Compared to the places around Kunming where rapeseed flowers can be seen, Shankou Village has fewer people and has not fully developed and commercialized. Only villagers sell broad beans and rapeseed seedlings on the roadside. The broad beans are so fresh that you can watch them pick them in the field 🌟 There is also a reservoir next to it, which should be developed into a tourist village in the future 🌟 Every day, there is a coffee truck parked on the roadside selling coffee. Even if you get tired from taking photos, you can still have a cup of coffee 🌟 The telephoto lens captures everything, if you have it, bring it with you. I used my phone to capture it, but it's not as beautiful as other bloggers' telephoto lenses. Also, the flowers are really fading, so hurry up if you're going over the weekend 🌟 After taking the photos, you can also take a bath in the world's best soup in Anning, and it will be another comfortable day. #familytrip #historicallandmarks #localguides #trip #localguides

#travelinginchina I arrived at Nanyuan Garden too late and it was already closed. I'll go there next time, and I'll visit it together with Fahua Temple. I went to see the nearby Yong'an Old Street and Donghu Park. The old street is somewhat similar to other old streets, and Donghu Park is a bit like the West Lake Park in Quanzhou. There are a great many egrets on the islet in the middle of the lake. 😊 I think boating this leave is very worthy for the visitors who ar win Kunming or going to Dali on their way. Highly recommend to my friends. #familytrip #historicallandmarks #familytrip #localguides #trip

#travelinginchina I took an evening stroll in Anning Old Street and had Cross - Bridge Rice Noodles there. The old street is adjacent to Nanyuan Garden and Baihua Park. It's not very long. The buildings there seem to have been constructed not long ago. There are some restaurants and places for making traditional intangible cultural heritage items with unique features. I like to very much and recommend to the friends who like to visit this kind of places. Food culture and entertainment is amazing. #localguides #familytrip #trip #historicallandmarks

#travelinginchina In the tranquil Ninghu Park, the jacarandas after the rain exude a serene and beautiful charm. This is my nth visit to Anning Ninghu Park, but it's the first time I've come across the beautiful jacarandas by Ninghu Lake. They are in full bloom, creating a lively scene, and there are not many people around. This is truly a hidden gem of a park. You can come here for a stroll throughout the four seasons of the year, and you'll always be able to discover different beautiful sceneries. The lake shimmers with ripples, the trees are dense, the flowers keep blooming, the birds flit about gracefully, and the place is clean and tidy, with few people and beautiful scenery. When you're tired from walking, how wonderful it would be to have a meal at the food street! I recommend "Guju Lakeside Music Dining Bar". It has a beautiful environment, offering both Western food and simple meals. The desserts are delicious, and the prices are not high. There is a charging parking lot by Ninghu Lake. If you drive further ahead to the ginkgo forest, there is also a small parking lot. Both are on the right side of the road, which is very convenient. #familytrip #historicallandmarks #localguides #trip

#travelinginchina My trip to Nanyuan Garden in Anning, Yunnan was quite an experience. Nicknamed the "Suzhou - style garden of Yunnan people" and "the First Garden in Yunnan", it was designed by Professor Chen Congzhou in the 1990s, blending Jiangnan garden charm with local features. Stepping in, I felt like I was in Suzhou. Rockeries, brooks, bridges, and corridors were all around. The garden's uniqueness lies in its Phoebe - made buildings and furniture, plus the numerous Phoebe trees. Unfortunately, I arrived late and it was closed. But I visited Yong'an Old Street and Donghu Park nearby. The old street was average, while Donghu Park was like Quanzhou's West Lake Park, with many egrets on the central islet. I'm looking forward to my next visit, when I'll explore Nanyuan Garden and Fahua Temple together. #trip #historicallandmarks #localguides #historicallandmarks #familytrip

#travelinginchina 🍃❥ Hello, May Flowers have their blooming seasons, but romance is priceless💜 In the sky of May, the whole city is filled with romantic blue-purple hues. It's the end of spring and also the beginning of early summer. The flowers with blue-purple branches are especially soothing to the heart under the blue sky and white clouds. The flower language that I didn't understand before will eventually resonate with me in a certain moment. Perhaps it's because of having fantasies that I look forward to romance. However, I will still live in my fantasies, and that's why I'm still full of anticipation.. visitors don’t miss the coming May, first and second week. I am sure you will enjoy it. #trip #localguides #familytrip #historicallandmarks

#travelinginchina Rare Yuan Dynasty architecture in Yunnan - Anning Confucian Temple Dacheng Hall 🔻 The Anning Confucian Temple was first built in the sixth year of the Dade reign of Emperor Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty (1302), but was later destroyed in a military disaster. In the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1337), it was rebuilt under the leadership of General Xuanwei and the head of the Zhongqing Road Daluhua Chidangdaolu. The Confucian Temple used to be a large-scale architectural complex, consisting of 22 buildings including Wenming Fang, Zhaobi, Panchi, Jinsheng Yuzhen Fang, Lingxing Gate, Dacheng Gate, Dacheng Hall, Chongsheng Temple, as well as seven courtyards and six courtyards including the East and West Courts, Hongmen, and Xiangxian Temple. Today, only Dacheng Hall and Chongsheng Temple remain. 🔻 The Dacheng Hall sits north to south and is a raised beam wooden structure with a width of 5 bays and a depth of 3 bays. It has front and rear corridors and a single eave with nine ridges and a gable top, with a ridge height of 10 meters. The eaves are trimmed with glazed tiles. The hall adopts the method of reducing and relocating columns to expand the space. Take care that there are two arch of wooden architecture in the outer eaves, one in the secondary eaves, and none in the middle eaves. The arch of wooden architecture on the front eaves is built by raising five pavilions from the top to the bottom, turning six pavilions from the inside to re arch for three seconds, and the arch of wooden architecture on the inner eaves is built by three jumps and six pavilions. Chinese paleontologist Liu Dunzhen believes in his "Overview of Southwest Ancient Architecture Survey" that the high and arch rolling and killing techniques, as well as the single arch construction on the central seam and jumping head of the Dacheng Hall of the Anning Confucian Temple, follow the legal system of the Song and Yuan dynasties. 🔻 Chongsheng Temple is located in the north of Dacheng Hall. It is a beam lifting wooden structure, with 5 rooms wide, 5 rooms deep with front corridors, and a single eave gable roof. 🔻 The Anning Confucian Temple is now used as a museum and preserves over 10 stone inscriptions from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties; In front of the Dacheng Hall, there is also a pair of red sandstone stone lions, originally placed on both sides of the east gate of Yaocen Tower. In 1985, Yaocen Tower was burned down and the stone lions were moved to their current location; The Ming Dynasty tin figurines unearthed from Songhua Pavilion are also quite distinctive. #localguides #familytrip #historicallandmarks #trip m

#travelinginchina ✈️ The Dai Temple next to Kunming is so beautiful 🙏 The Southern Buddhist Temple of Yunnan Buddhist College is located on a mountainside in the suburbs of Anning, about 30km away from Kunming. It is the most exotic temple next to Kunming- ✈️ Aerial photography revealed its beauty. The vegetation near the temple in early summer is lush and abundant, filled with negative ions, and the forest has a pine flavor that can be savored with just a sip- ♦️ Search for "Yunnan Buddhist College" on the navigation, it is 36km away from Kunming ♦️ Anning public transportation can take route 18 to Anning Hot Spring Station ♦️ No tickets, the tour time is about 2 hours ♦️ I suggest taking a look at Caoxi Temple next to the Buddhist Academy, where there is a vegetarian meal to eat. ♦️ Pay attention to height control during aerial photography, be careful of nearby tower cranes and tree branches 🌿！ - #trip #localguides #localguides #historicallandmarks #familytrip

🌸Kunming is not a fast-moving consumer attraction like instant noodles, nor is it a transit station to other travel destinations in Yunnan, but a Pu'er old tea that needs to be savored carefully. 🌹During my three-day trip, I used Zen to tap the folds of time on the first day, used ecology to feed back historical imagination on the second day, and searched for the anchor point of the intersection of civilizations in the modern and contemporary waves on the last day, and finally let this "Spring City" appear in the multi-dimensional vibration of taste, touch and vision. Day 1⃣: A time-space compass where Sanskrit and Confucianism interweave Caoxi Temple→Wenquan Cliff Carvings→Anning Confucian Temple (Anning Museum)→Jingzhu Temple→Kunming Confucian Temple→Zhengyifang Kunming Old Street The Song Dynasty wooden hall of Caoxi Temple hides the creative translation of Central Plains architecture by craftsmen of Nanzhao State. The dialogue between Kublai Khan's "Zhenhai Shenci" and Yang Sheng'an's poems in the Wenquan Cliff Carvings reveals that Yunnan has always been a melting pot of Central Plains civilization and frontier wisdom. In the afternoon, I looked up at the Qing Dynasty clay sculptures of 500 Arhats at Jingzhu Temple. These laughing and scolding gods, wearing straw sandals and smoking dry tobacco, were clearly the various forms of the caravans on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. In the evening, we turned into the Kunming Confucian Temple. The mottled cracks on the chiwen of the Dacheng Hall formed a montage with the newly built wall of the internet-famous coffee on Zhengyifang Old Street. At this moment, I tasted the wild mushrooms steamed in a Jianshui steam pot in the "Laodian Mountain Village", and I was surprised to find that the so-called tradition is never a specimen, but an active gene that is constantly reorganized. Day 2⃣: A civilization index constructed by gull feathers and bronze Feeding seagulls at Haigeng Dam→Xishan Scenic Area→Yunnan Provincial Museum The red-billed gulls at Haigeng Dam in the early morning are not only an ecological business card, but also a reflection of the bronze buckle of the "Feathered Man Racing" of the ancient Dian Kingdom. As bread crumbs drew silver arcs in the air, two thousand years ago, priests on the shores of Dianchi Lake might have been scattering shell money to the water god. Climbing up the Longmen Gate on the Western Hills, the relief of the five-line musical scores in front of Nie Er's tomb and the flying eaves of the Sanqing Pavilion Taoist Temple form a wonderful polyphony - this is not only the home of the musician's soul, but also the sacred place where the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom worshipped the sky. In the afternoon, I stopped in front of the gilded knight shell container in the Yunnan Provincial Museum. The horse-leading men and umbrella-holders solidified in bronze suddenly overlapped with the oil-paper umbrella in the hands of the Bai grandmother who passed by me while feeding gulls in the morning. Spending the night by the Dianchi Lake, the rising steam from the sauerkraut beef hotpot clearly carries the codes written alternately by the ancient Dian, Yi, and Han people. Day 3⃣: The birthmark of modernity blending blood and green Military Academy→Cuihu Park→Yunnan University (Donglu Campus)→Lu's Mansion→Zhenqing Temple→Golden Temple→Expo Park→Airport In the Generals' Corridor of the Military Academy, the swords of the heroes still shine coldly; turning into the bank of Cuihu Lake, the echo of Wen Yiduo's last speech still trembles among the crabapple flowers; under the Baroque dome of Yunnan University Huize Academy, the calculus formula calculated by Xiong Qinglai and the bells of the border caravans once resonated wonderfully. Touch the telegraph keys of the National Protection Movement under the French columns of the Lu Mansion, and go to the shadows of the crape myrtle flowers in the Zhenqing Temple to watch the Taoist nuns studying quantum mechanics - the magic of this city is that it can always allow seemingly opposing things to complete genetic recombination. When the sword of Wu Sangui in the Golden Temple and the flags of all nations in the Expo Park appeared at the same time in the twilight, I realized that Kunming’s modernity was destined as early as when it became the "Crossroads of Asia". Attached is the 3⃣day 3⃣night itinerary: Day 1⃣Chengdu→Kunming Arrive in Kunming in the evening of the first day, pick up the car, and check in to the hotel Day 2⃣ Caoxi Temple→Wenquan Cliff Carvings→Anning Confucian Temple (Anning Museum)→Qingzhu Temple→Kunming Confucian Temple→Zhengyifang Kunming Old Street Food: Shushupu Sour Bamboo Chicken, Laodian Mountain Village Yunnan Cuisine Day 3⃣ Feeding seagulls at Haigeng Dam→Xishan Scenic Area→Yunnan Provincial Museum Food: Xishan Farmhouse, Pickled Cabbage Beef Day 4⃣Kunming→Chengdu Army Military Academy→Cuihu Park→Yunnan University (Donglu Campus)→Lu's Mansion→Zhenqing Temple→Golden Temple→Expo Park→Airport Food: Yunnan snacks ✔️TIPS for sightseeing: 1⃣It is recommended to rent a car. Although Kunming is not big, the distance between attractions is far, and it is more convenient to drive by yourself; 2⃣If you stay in the city, it is recommended to choose Cuihu or Jinbi area
